Tommy Cherry's Weilong GTS3M Review: the best cube I have tried?

[Garf]

Last Wednesday, I picked up a Tommy Cherry's Weilong GTS3M, along with 15cc DNM 37 and a Diamond file. (Not for the cube, I promise you). I also got a free 3cc Cubicle Labs silk.
On Saturday, I received the package. And honestly, I am impressed.
THE UNBOXING: I found the GTS3M in a nice back with a wonderful gold wireframe lettering and handles with the same color. It had a tag that said "Tommy Cherry's GTS3M". Oobt, the puzzle came in a plastic wrap with stickers inside the wrap. There was also the adjustment tools, but I didn't really care about that for the moment. I unwrapped the cube... and let my sister solve it from the scrambled state, since I made a promise to her. She approved. The worst part of the unboxing was that the cube didn't come with it's standard stand/box in the standard puzzle.
MY FIRST TURNS: When my sister gave me back the cube and I got in my first turns... oh my. The puzzle was what I wanted in every single puzzle from that point out. The puzzle had excellent corner cutting, turned at a decent speed, and didn't pop easily. On sunday I wiped the cube to see what it would feel like without any lubricant, then apply an Angstrom set-up that I liked.
PROS: The puzzle is fast, corner cuts decently well for the regular and reverse, and doesn't pop easily. It is stable and fast. Also, the ridges
CONS: It corner-twists easily.
THOUGHTS OVERALL: The puzzle is really great, and I appreciate the ridges.

So yes, it IS the best cube I have ever tried. It is better than my GAN 356 M.

I have personally never experienced problems with the cube corner twisting, but I also have the elasticity pretty high. I think Moyu should have made it slightly smaller to offset the ridges because at times they can feel a bit weird like they're getting in the way (it is very cool though)

Bu-b-but...why? The whole point of a professional setup is that it's already set up for you. Why not just get the Angstrom edition?

So you've never tried a Rubik's brand?

I have. They are not that bad. But it definitely wasn't as awesome as this GTS3M.

I know. The cube just felt a little too slow, and the DNM that I added didn't help with matters. So that's the real reason why I wiped it: so that I could get the speed that I wanted, not experiment with the speed given to me already.

One thing I can say for sure is that Tommy turns this cube real fast.

the gan 356 m is honestly terrible

the gan 356 m is honestly terrible

I've never heard anyone say that before.




The GTS3M is a fun cube though. Underrated. I like the shiny hard plastic too. It has a good feel.

*cough cough* the only thing good about it is if you loosen it, the slice moves are good, but then s and e moves face lots of corner twists.

 

[Kaiju_cube]

weird I never had a single issue with it.

Man I miss this cube. I lost it at a track meet somehow. I think Java Cuber stole it lol. (He mentioned in his collection vid that he had two GTS3Ms, one that he got and one that he didn't know where it came from).
Imagine someone just sends me a GTS3M lol.
